My Upart wig with Senghori shells hair (PICS)

[belletropjolie]

I recently got a upart made with Senghori relaxed texture. The hair matches my hair pretty well (relaxed) but I HATE the awful "hump" in the back.

I haven't worn it out yet becuase the hump in the back is annoying me. I have pretty full hair but what I do is two braids and pin the ends down.

Is the hump in the back as puffy as I think it is? Any suggestions on what I can do to keep it flat? TIA!

eta: please don't quote pics, thanks!

I don't think the hump is very noticeable, but I would probably feel self conscious, too. Have you tried using more braids for a flatter look? Perhaps 4 braids will smooth some of the bulk of your hair under the wig.

BUMP for help from the Wig Wearers!

I'm not noticing the hump. I think it looks nice and full. I like my hair to have a lot of body to balance out my body. LOL.

Thanks! I just did the 4 braids and you're right . It does look a less humpy a bit. I think I'm just nervous because I'm not as familiar with wigs as I am with weaves. The wig also came out a bit longer than I'd like, its almost waist length and I hate super long weaves. I'm going to keep it curled so its looks about BSL or MBL.

The other thing is that I go running pretty often so IDK if I really feel like redoing my braids every time I go running. To the wig meisters - do you guys run with wigs.

i have worked out in my wig before....but it's rare since i don't like getting the wig sweaty. normally i just put on a bandana or a hat and workout in that if i am going to be where people can see me.

i think the wig looks good on you.

The thickness of the hair camouflages the hump, but the hump is most likely your braids. You may want to do smaller ones. When I wear my uparts I have to do about 10-12 small braids and I sew them up so its as flat as an install. It's a tad bit time consuming, but it looks so much better. I still wash weekly but I only take them down every 2 weeks to give them a good wash.

My hair is thick also, and the only way I can get my hair to lay flat under a wig or sew-in is to
wear my hair braided into a beehive.

I didn't notice a hump in your pics (nice upart btw). I wear about 5-6 braids under my upart. I pull the end of each braid into the start of the next one. I see mine down so I have no choice but to wear it when I work out. I pull it into a bun and KIM.

it looks fine to me! I think once you start wearing it a bit you will get used to the way it looks on you.
